Tom was a proud veteran. A conservative, who loved to engage in respectful political debates and had always joked about becoming the governor of Vermont. Tom enjoyed reading, gardening and was becoming quite the green thumb, fishing with his children, bird watching, becoming a coffee snob, adding to his patriotic room, attending sporting events and most of all hosting Sunday dinners for his family every week. It was a religious event for Tom. He truly loved and provided for those closest to him.
